3. Finely dice the onion, garlic and ginger.
4. Roughly chop the celery, kale and spring onions.
5. In the same frying pan heat the olive oil. Add the garlic, onion and ginger. Stirfry for about one minute until onion softens. Add the celery, kale, spring onions and tamari sauce. Stirfry until celery has slightly softened and kale has wilted.
6. Stir through the chicken and quinoa. Remove from heat. Serve and enjoy.
